I finally decided on a border for Bliss Between Friends!
I was going to put a large floral border, but then thought piano keys would be nice:
It's 80" by 102" and off to my long arm quilter because I'm not ready to try anything that big on my little sewing machine. I can't wait to see it after she works her magic!

And my name was drawn for a Market giveaway by Tammy of Karamat for this fabulous book:

It's beautiful!! It's so hard to part with a quilt at the quilters, but so worth it when you get it back. And congrats on the material obsession book, it's really fantastic. I just made my first quilt from it.

Beautiful quilt. I have always adored a piano key border I think it sets the whole quilt off perfectly.

The border you chose is just great. I think it works really well and adds a lot of liveliness to it.
Lucky you! Terri does great work and has a wonderful blog.
I like the piano keys border. This is a beautiful quilt! I can't wait to see it in all it's quilted glory:)
I love Bliss, I love your border, and I LOVE this quilt!!
The time put in to making the piano-key border versus a some ol' flowery border was a WISE decision :0) LOVE LOVE LOVE this quilt!!!
Mary, The piano key border is gorgeous! i can't wait to see it quilted up. i love it so far...quilting only makes things better.
you are going to have fun binding that monster, aren't you? :)
I'm thinking that border was as much work as the rest of the quilt! How beautiful it turned out though. I am still working on mine as I have used it as a leader/ender project. I think I'm halfway through the 16 patches so far. Congrats on your wins too you lucky gal you!
I had to laugh at our matching 16 patches in our latest quilts. Great minds think alike Mary! This is lovely. Really like that size too.
